Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Well ****.

Play a 1st quarter that gives you every opportunity to end it now and then completely no-show the 2nd and 3rd.

And yeah, AD put a stamp on this one. I don't care if he'd have scored 5 points on 25 shots - it would've been better than taking 11 damn shots in the game.

He absolutely has to impose himself on these games.

From 30 and 23 in game 1 to 11 and 7 in game 2. Will never understand this guy.

Al Bundy · 05-04-2023, 10:25 PM

Good win, 3 more of them to make the NBA great.

The Millennium GOAT now 16-8 head to head against James in the playoffs.

Well if we're being tacky then we can point out how Curry didn't have to leave the team that drafted him for a championship. I'll also note that Durant will probably only have his championships playing alongside Curry.

Did GM LeBron bring in AD to LA?

Seems the Warriors are always elevating guys play. Jamychal Green playing in his second game this season scores 15 in 13min.

Funny how that happens. How much money did MJ make for scrubs who looked good playing with him only to shit the bed with their new team. With LBJ, you have guys like Westbrook looking much better after leaving.

Can I get a foul call ref!

Kerrs game 2 lineup change was brilliant. I’m shocked Ham didn’t keep his starters going in the 4th to figure out how to even adjust to it. Because if they don’t figure out an adjustment the series is over yesterday

It's going to be the same strategy to defend the Warriors as usual. Trap Steph on the screens, force him to pass, help over and make his teammates beat you. They're going to get some good shots that way, but they always will. It's still better than giving up open threes to him.

The real adjustment has to be AD actually showing up to play on both ends for game 3. If he does that, the Lakers can win any game in this series.

Why would Curry ever want to leave a team with multiple other HOFers for his entire run? He's had the easiest time of any superstar in NBA history.

Embiid is easily the largest player to ever flop at the quantity and quality he does.

Megatron96 · 05-05-2023, 07:03 PM

Lol, Harden is washed.

I like Embiid, but I don't understand how he got MVP over Jokic.

My theory is that didn't want to give a guy 3 MVPs in a row when they didn't do the same for LeBron and MJ. Jokic clearly should have won though.
